I had a similar problem last week - tried to turn the macbook pro on and it made the start up noise but nothing came on the screen. I took it to an Apple retailer to get looked at and the logic board was replaced free of charge. Much to my relief!

I hope that helps.

Did you have warranty still? Or were you out of warranty?
